LA cardiac pt 2 Flashcards
cardiogenic shock CO, SVR, systolic/diastolic
pcwp
decreased CO and increases SVR
systolic
PCWP increased
etio of cardiogenic shock
cardiac d/s: MI, myocarditis, valve dysfunction, congenital hrt disease, CM, arrhythmias
avoid what in cardiogenic shock
tx
aggressive IV fluid tx.
inotropic support: dobutamine, epi
s/s of cardiogenic shock
severe respiratory distress
cool, clammy skin
best LDL lowering drugs
statins! bile acid sequestrants
best meds to lower TG
fibrates! niacin
best meds to increase HDL
Niacin! fibrates
lipid meds for type 2 DM
statins, fibrates
common valve for endocarditis
mitral>atrial>tricuspid>pulm
organism for endocarditis: nml valves/tx
st. aureus
nafcillin or oxacillin plus either ceftriaxone or gentamycin
vanco if needed
organism for endocarditis: abnormal/damaged valves/tx
dental procedures
st viridans
?
organism for endocarditis: IV drug users /tx
st aureus or MRSA
vanco
organism for endocarditis: prosthetic valves/tx
staph epidermis
vanco+genta+rifamin
fungal for endocarditis: tx
amphoteracin B 6-8 weeks
great gm + coverage
PCN and vanco
great gm- coverage
gentamycin and ceftriaxone
immunologic phenomena (4)
for endocarditis
osler’s nodes, roth spots, +RF, acute glomeronephritis
vascular and embolic phenomena in endocarditis (4)
janeway lesions, septic arterial or pulm emboli, ICH
endocarditis test to order first
more sensitive
TTE
TEE
endocarditis prophylaxis and what procedures
2 gm amox 30-60 min before procedure or clinda 600 if allergic
dental, respiratory, infected skin
pericarditis 2 most common causes
idiopathic and viral(coxsackievirus and echovirus)
pericardial friction rub heard best how
end expiration, upright, leaning forward
tx for dressler syndrome
aspirin or colchicine
avR shows knuckle sigh
pericarditis
electrical alternans
pericardial effusion
most common non traumatic cause of tamponade
malignancy
pulsus paradoxus
> 10 mmHg decrease of systolic BP with inspiration
S/s of tamponade
cool extremities, reflex tachycardia, peripheral edema, dyspnea, fatigure, shock
cool extremities, reflex tachycardia, peripheral edema, dyspnea, fatigure, shock
S/s of tamponade
tamponade echo
pericardial effusion + diastolic collapse of cardiac chambers
